| Model Rocketry, used in a school setting, is an exciting way to develop
science and engineering skills. Rocket projects at Goshen High
School emphasize design, organization, and flight testing.
Students use software, such as Apogee's RockSim,
as a virtual testing ground for their ideas. Reliability and safety
are emphasized in the design, construction, and preparation for
a successful rocket flight. There are currently three different
ways to get involved with rocketry at GHS:
Team America Rocketry Challenge,
NASA's Student Launch Initiative,
and Physics 2.
